Planning Your Podcast

Planning takes a lot of time if you want to be successful. Below are some ideas to consider. Also, visit the links available under "Online Resources" for more tips and planning guides.
What is the subject of your podcast?
What is the goal of your podcast? (sharing information, discussion, interview, directions for a project, reviewing meetings/fieldtrips, advertisement, play)
Who is your target audience? (students, teachers, community)
How how long do you want the podcast to be? (one episode, or one episode with many segments)
Will students be grouped and have roles? How many speakers will there be? (host, interviewee, etc)
How often do you want to publish podcasts? (montly, bi-monthly, weekly, once)
Where will the podcast recording take place? (quiet area needed)

Storyboard

Make audio tracks more engaging. Add music, sounds, interviews, several voices, etc.
Video footage alone does not make an effective and engaging podcast. Add narration, captions, transitions, musics, sounds, graphics, demonstrations, etc.
If you are planning a series, consider using the same intro and closing for each podcast.
